 @grahamc:nixos.org | it'd be great to get some help researching this, we've been looking at ubuntu and a mac but I think there are a lot of ways it could go wrong | 14:46:24 |

FWIW, I'm a happy user of nix-installer on Pop!_OS and Gentoo (using systemd profile) One note is we recently fixed a bug where the nix binary wasn't rooted for the GC so if you nix store gc you may encounter problems, a fix is coming likely today | 14:46:32 |
| Ana | The good news is uninstall and install with the new one should be painless | 14:46:55 |

like a link /bin/nix toward /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin/nix it is not as easy as that because it could also be /usr/bin and /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin/nix does also not always exist. | 14:53:26 |

it is not as easy as that because it could also be /usr/bin and /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin/nix does also not always exist. but /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin/nix is what exists after using nix-installer | 14:53:59 |
| @sandro:supersandro.de | on nixos you could use /run/current-system/sw/bin/nix but that does not work for nix on some other linux | 14:54:13 |
